Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 2420: Chapter 2429: Finally Compromised and Agreed

Edward Jackson’s temples were throbbing incessantly, his brain about to explode.

Facing both the old and the young, he was at a complete loss and relaxed his shoulders, surrendering, ”I’ll go, I’ll try to find time to meet the person you mentioned.”

Hayes looked at him in surprise and exclaimed, ”Master?”

Hadn’t the master already decided not to go on blind dates anymore?

Edward Jackson didn’t turn to look at him, his mature and handsome face full of helplessness, ”Mom, please stop crying.”

Old Madam Habsden had been feeling sorry for her beloved little great-granddaughter crying so pitifully. Hearing his words, she blinked her eyes, reddened from the onion, and looked up at the man by the bed to confirm, ”You really agreed to go? You won’t back out?”

”I agreed, I won’t back out.”

After all, he just agreed to meet that person, not necessarily to marry them.

He didn’t believe he would feel the way the old lady described.

Just seeing the old lady like this, he thought he might as well make some time to show her, so she wouldn’t really cry herself sick.

Old Madam Habsden was about to smile from ear to ear but remembered Bobby’s reminder, holding back her spreading grin and squeezing out two ’sad’ tears, ”I didn’t force you, you decided to go on your own. Since you’ve agreed, you mustn’t deliberately bully the girl or ignore her during the meeting.”

Edward Jackson’s eyebrows were almost knotted together, but he reluctantly agreed, ”I’ll try my best.”

Old Madam Habsden immediately raised her eyebrows, emphasizing unhappily, ”What do you mean try your best? Let’s be clear, you mustn’t intentionally ruin this blind date for me. Otherwise, I... otherwise I...”

She hesitated for a long while, then finally squeezed out, ”Otherwise, I’ll run away from home!”

Edward Jackson felt both amused and helpless at her resolute ’threat.’ In her younger days, Old Madam Habsden was quite a formidable career woman, but as she aged, she became more childlike. She used to be gracious and gentle; he didn’t know how she ended up like this.

In retrospect, it seemed to happen around the time he was about 30 when the pressure to marry started, and the old lady became increasingly childlike.

Perhaps realizing she had no other way to deal with him, she figured out this was effective.

Edward Jackson’s gaze softened a bit, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he said steadily, ”I will take the blind date seriously. But Mom, let me clarify, I’ll sincerely interact with the person you mentioned, but feelings are about mutual chemistry. If it doesn’t work, there’s nothing I can do.”

This time, Old Madam Habsden truly smiled, her eyes crinkling with certainty, ”Don’t worry, you’ll definitely feel something for this girl! Trust me, have I ever tricked you?”

”...” Her recent act of a heart attack was indeed to trick him, wasn’t it?

Edward Jackson was utterly helpless, accepted her words, and asked, ”When did you arrange to meet her?”

”Tonight.”

Edward Jackson, ”...”

Tonight?

He hadn’t even agreed before.

It seemed the old lady was very confident this time.

Old Madam Habsden was indeed confident she could get him to agree to the blind date. After all, having carried him for ten months and given birth to him, she knew exactly how to make him relent.
